Pi from Life of Pi

Pi is the main character in the book I'm reading, Life of Pi. The story is told from his point of view, and he is definitely the main character in the book. Pi is very smart, and his dad owns a zoo. He thinks deeper, and is more analytical than most people I know. Though many think it is cruel to own a zoo and keep animals caged, Pi explains it differently. He says that putting animals in a zoo is not much different for them than being in the wild, if anything, it is better. They mark their territory in the wild, and it is about the same size as the cage they are in. Also, in the wild, they struggle to get food, and sometimes don't receive a days meal, but in a zoo they are fed regularly. Pi is originally from India. He has a very close relationship with his parents, and grandparents. Pi, again, seems very intelligent, and educated. I think he will be able to handle any problems he encounters later in the book.
